Meet Mara.Mara was born in Africa in 1980, and shipped to a U.S. zoo after her mother was killed. She spent a few years being sold off to different owners, until her rescue by PAWS in 1990. Today Mara roams free at a sanctuary in Northern California.

After spending years at a zoo and as the property of a private collector, Mara, arrived at PAWS on January 23, 1990. Today she enjoys fresh vegetation and roaming freely with fellow elephants Lulu and Maggie.
